Abstract
Disclosed are novel α-galactosylceramide derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, preparation methods thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions for use in an immune adjuvant containing the same as an active ingredient. The derivatives, in which the amide moiety of α-GalCer is bioisosterically replaced with a triazole moiety, direct cytokine secretion toward IL-4 rather than IFN-γand thus can be used as a therapeutic for autoimmune diseases regulated by IL-4, such as type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
